Judy was born and raised in
Wandin Valley. Her father was an alcoholic who died of
cirrhosis of the liver in the hospital. She left to study
in Sydney when Brendan
Jones
arrived, returning in August 1982 to take a position as
nursing sister in the hospital. She was rather loud and
had an odd sense of humour that many of her patients
didn't appreciate. She appeared on (and won) the
"Dream Date" game show on the Gold Coast.

She was always on
the prowl for a man and always seemed to be head over
heels in love with someone, anyone, including Steve
Vargas, a motorcycle cop who took over for Frank while Frank was on a
cruise. Their relationship lasted until Steve had to
return to the city.

She took over Simon and Vicky's flat when they moved
out...her cousin Jo came to stay there with
her until Judy left the Valley in July 1986 to travel the world as the
nurse/companion to aged and terminally ill Dr. Wood.
